The crash happened around 1 p.m on Interstate 95 just north of Atlantic Avenue.

Mitchell said the two officers were getting back into their patrol car when the driver of an SUV crashed into their vehicle, pinning it against the guardrail. The crash also caused the cruiser to hit the car involved in the traffic stop.

"If you would have heard the radio transmissions, your heart (would have) stopped," Mitchell said. "Officer Campbell hit the emergency button on his police radio and immediately said, 'Officer Chinque was pinned and needs assistance immediately.'"

He said Chinque, who was in the passenger seat, was pinned inside the vehicle against the guardrail.

Delray Beach fire rescue spokesman Kevin Saxton said rescue crews were called to the scene.

"We actually had to cut the guardrail so we could push the door back off his leg and free him from the vehicle," Saxton said.

Everyone involved in the crash was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
